[Putting his arms behind his head, tail still swaying like a nervous cat, just staring at the ceiling.]
I know.
[A few people had apparently been shocked, or at least confused, to see Molly so unseated by this. It's reassuring to hear that he isn't insane, or too naive or too stupid. He does feel guilty that, well. He's the reason she signed up at all, isn't he?
He turns to look at her at least, studying her for a moment.]
You're a good person. You don't need me to tell you that, but I know you are.
[ she looks over her shoulder at him, after a moment. ]
... That means something from you. [ she says, a little hoarsely. ] I only figured out how to start being one after you died. It kicked my ass into gear.
[ she fidgets, a little. it's a lot of honesty, but - with someone dead, so abruptly, it just reminds her that she can't keep this shit to herself. if she does, she'll regret it. ]
So I guess you get to hold that shit over my head forever, huh?
[That's . . . a very honest, very kind thing Beau has just said. But he meant what he said. He can see she's trying hard, not the least of which is towards him. He isn't sure he deserves all that goodness from her, but he isn't so free of selfishness he won't take it either. He just wants to return her the favor.]
Isn't the first time today someone's told me I left an impression. This one's much more flattering.
